I wanted to pass along my thanks to New Creations Taxidermy and tell AH about what they have done. I went to RSA in May of 2015 and had a good 10 day hunt which included a Sable and Kudu. Not a cheap hunt for me personally with 6 animals taken. Paid in full before I left. My PH failed to deliver my trophies to a dip and pack facility and kept them in his garage for over a year. I was told that the hold up was the dip and pack company. I started a thread here on AH about it and eventually the truth came out. The PH had been lying about taking them to the taxidermist. To make up for it he offered to pay for the dip and pack, which he failed to do. Eventually he took them to New Creations Taxidermy. He failed to deliver some of the paperwork so that the animals could be shipped.
Henry Kemp expressed his frustration with the situation to me. He tried without success to get the proper paperwork from my PH for several months. He offered to do the dip and pack for free based on the fact that he felt like the RSA hunting industry had been given a black eye so to speak about how this was handled. Eventually he accepted some payment for his services as it was not his fault my PH was disorganized and lazy........
In order to get the permits necessary to ship my animals Henry decided to apply for the permits as ex-stock. Meaning I had bought the animals from their stock. This still took about 3-4 more months to accomplish. The provincial gov is somewhat slow. Vera at New Creations Taxidermy was very good at keeping me updated about the process and what we were waiting for. I have numerous e-mails telling me were still waiting for permits.
The permits have finally been approved and the animals are to be shipped. I felt that New Creations Taxidermy had gone above and beyond what they needed to in order to help me out of a jam. Without them my animals could still be stuck in RSA. I would suggest giving them a look when considering companies for taxidermy or dip and pack. Communication has been excellent and prices are reasonable.
My thanks for a job well done and providing a solution to my problem. Henry and Vera I appreciate all you have done. Bruce

Thanks for sharing the positive outcome to the story, very good reflection on New Creations also!
 
very nice to hear some one going out like that to help some one else. Good for them doing what it took to make a happy client. It is what it will take to get rid of some of the bad news you here from over there. Glad it worked out in the end.
 
I need to make one small correction. Its New Creation Taxidermy. They went above and beyond to take care of me. Bruce
 
And yep it will be an early Christmas present this year! (y)(y)
 
Not mounted yet, but they will be before too long. I'm hoping capes are still in good shape. Apparently I'm missing a Mtn. Reedbuck cape......... Just glad to have almost to the taxidermist. Bruce
 
For the benefit of the hunting community you should share with us the name of the PH. No one should have to go through what you went through his name should be provided so that others can avoid a costly mistake.
 
I wondered if that might not come up. Message me and I'll provide it to any who ask. Last I heard he moving on to Botswana....... I enjoyed hunting with him and he has a lot of contacts. Just needs help being more organized..... Bruce
 
sounds like it may work out for you . What was the condition of the hides when the taxidermist received them?
 
.............. Last I heard he moving on to Botswana.......

He should get along well in Botswana. Your taxidermy nightmare mirrored mine in Botswana.
Perhaps, they will be a match well made.
 
Sounds like good people to me!
 
That's great news. In any event I think you should warn members on who this guy is. Good hunt or not it's not worth a damn if he did this to you.

They have not quite made it to the taxidermist yet. They should in the next 10 days... He is in Africa on a bowhunt and should be back soon. I'll ask for him to look and see how they look. Been one of my concerns...... Bruce

Thanks for sharing!

Until this guy posts something on pay it forward free I would avoid him at all costs.

If it hasn't sold by next week I might be interested. Stock would have to be changed along with some other items. I'm already having a 416 Rigby built so money is a tad bit tight.

Hey pal! I'll take all the .375 bullets if they're available.
Thanks!
